Mom's uncle Ernst Arnold raised five daughters, Viola (1932), Jean (1935), Tondaleigho (1946), Etta (1929), and Cleo (1925) sitting. There were two sons Charles (1936-1990?) and Ernst Jr (died at the age of two). This picture was taken in 2004 I think. Cleo was born in Herscher as her folks had moved up here with Rube and Mary Arnold Arthur for work. Others were born in KY. Cleo's baby was raised as a daughter (Tondaleigho).

We had a surprise party for Marilyn Rose's 70th Birthday 16 June 2012 at the Elks in Watseka. Mom had a great time the whole afternoon! Scot Walwer on the left, Butch Walwer on the right. Each daughter stands in front of them holding their baby. Marilyn Rose center rear and Mom in the front. Thanks to Devin for these party pics.
